Amanda Seyfried Style: Christian Louboutin Pliage Framed Clutch

 
Jennifer's Body star, Amanda Seyfried, was spotted outside the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival the other night. And for this very special occasion, the young actress (who is probably better known for her role in Mama Mia!) chose to go super-glam.

She paired a gorgeously glided Valentino dress with what appear to be a pair of black patent Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps. The look was topped off with a dazzling pair of Cathy Waterman earrings. And her evening bag of choice? What better to go with her Christian Louboutin shoes than one of Christian Louboutin's famous Framed Clutches?
Her particular version looks to be black with silver hardware. I must say, the clutch looks simply stunning here with just enough light being reflected to give it a subtle sparkle. And, of course, the little Christian Louboutin shoes that make the clasp are absolutely adorable! Perfect for shoe and handbag enthusiasts alike!

Joie Ibiza Bag

9097c2f05fdde5ad6ea4e9a370579cc7
Originally established in 2001, Joie is a newcomer to the world of fashion. Typically known for their clothing line, particularly their feminine tops and floaty dresses, the company is all about "Casual, Comfortable, and Luxurious". Creative designer and CEO, Serge Azria, says that the Joie collection is inspired by the Southern Californian lifestyle. But just recently, the company has expanded its horizons a bit. They have now added shoes and handbags to the mix. 8b0454bb3eca75a9f4676f3811a613ff
These new pieces are indeed "Casual, Comfortable, and Luxurious". Take, for example, the Joie Ibiza Bag featured here. This bag is made of a soft, distressed leather. Its slouchy hobo shape and neutral color make it the perfect addition to their new Fall 2009 collection, which drew most of its inspiration from the bohemian-chic look. I like the soft pleating and the simple, unstructured shape. It just looks like it would mold right into your body. I also like the unique tie closure that draws the outside corners of the bag around to the front. And everything is tied up with a cute little bow! I must say, I could definitely get used to associating the word "handbag" with the name "Joie". How does everyone else feel?
The Joie Ibiza Bag is currently available in Charcoal Grey. It measures 14.5" x 14" x 6.5" and it retails for $545.

Ed Hardy Passport II Bon Tote

Halloween is creeping upon us, and what better way to get in the spirit than with a stylish handbag that represents the holiday? When I think of Halloween I instantly think of: bats, vampires, zombies, ghosts, and skulls. Skulls have always been fashionable and several brands have been notorious for styling up a skull on a product every now and then.
Ed Hardy has always been known to have some sort of stylish skull on a majority of his products, and he just featured another one on one of his bags. Ed Hardy Passport II Bon Tote features a colorful but yet tasteful skull right in the center of the bag. There is nothing much to the bag other than it being black with a huge skull on it.
The tote may be simple, but somehow it’s actually kind of fabulous. I’m not sure if I would personally carry this tote around other than in October, but for a fun "Halloween" style bag it’s kind of fun. If you love skulls though, you may just want to carry this bag around all year long. It’s spacious, closes easily with the magnetic snap closure, and has a platform bottom.
It’s definitely a great bag to use when you have a lot of things to carry around. I carry a lot around when I’m going to class, and to be able to put all my books, school supplies, and lap top in a bag works wonders. I guess I really could use this tote more than just in October. It’s definitely an interesting bag, that will catch people’s eyes no matter where you go.

The Ed Hardy Passport II Bon Tote can be purchased at Zappos for $79, which I believe is an amazing deal for this bag. Ed Hardy bags usually run a couple hundred dollars, so to see one below $100 is a steal! If you love Ed Hardy or skulls in general, I’d grab this bag quick before they are all gone. Ed Hardy is extremely popular, and I’m sure this bag won’t be available long with a low price like that.

Final Goodbye Michael Jackson the true legend

The public memorial began after Jackson's family and closest friends attended a gathering at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills on Tuesday morning.

Jackson's family and friends were at the chapel, which can hold about 1,000 people.

An army of fans poured into Los Angeles from places far-flung, hoping to collectively mourn their idol in a massive ceremony.

On Monday, organizers used a computer to choose 8,750 names from 1.6 million people who registered for tickets online. Each received a pair of tickets, for a total of 17,500 tickets.

Just 11,000 of those were for seats inside the arena. The other 6,500 were for viewing the memorial telecast across the street at the Nokia Theater. The Jackson family set aside an additional 9,000 Staples Center seats to give out, organizers said.

Dolce & Gabbana Lock Wallet

 

I currently own a Louis Vuitton Wallet, but I can very much appreciate a beautiful wallet. Lately, I've been looking at wallets in hopes to find another one just as beautiful as my Louis Vuitton one to purchase. Nothing is as classic as a Louis Vuitton wallet, but I do agree that not only does a fashionista need "bag" variety they also need "wallet" variety.
It takes a lot for me to like wallet. Something either needs to be unique about the wallet, or it just needs to be plain beautiful. When I came across the Dolce & Gabbana "Lock" Wallet, as I like to call it, I was quite impressed. It was fairly simple, but yet the little lock in front of the wallet made it look that much more cuter and stylish.
What is cool about a wallet like this, is that you really could wear it two different ways. I would personally use this as a wallet to throw in my purse, but some people like to use stylish wallets as if they were a clutch.  Picture-21
Think about it, if you have nothing to bring with you other than money or some credit cards then carrying a wallet like a clutch wouldn't seem like a bad idea. I could never go anywhere without a cell phone, but if you can live without a cell phone, and lip gloss then carrying around a stunning wallet would probably be ideal for you.
The padlock really makes this wallet look unique to me, and that's not even the coolest part. The top zip closure has an attached leather strap and keyring, so that you can actually "lock" the wallet up. Not very ideal, but definitely a cute little feature to the wallet.

Gustto Cipriani Tavolo Clutch

Everytime I see a beautiful clutch, I’m always drooling. Besides satchels, clutches are my second favorite style of handbag. I love how they are so easy to carry around, but a majority of the time they are also quite stunning.
One of the clutches I love at the moment is the Gustto Cipriani Tavolo in blue. The clutch is not only beautiful but the zip pockets really make this clutch look stunning.
What I love most about this clutch, is that I could really see myself carrying it year round and during anytime of the day. It’s not too dressy, and not too casual that it gives me the ability to carry it whenever, and wherever and still look stylish.
Picture-26
I do think if this clutch were available in black, I would buy it in a heart beat. Black mixed with the gold hardware would look stunning, in my opinion. Also, a black clutch could go with anything I wear, whereas with a blue clutch I pretty much selected with what I can wear.
The best part about this clutch is the size of it. It’s the absolute perfect size to be able to carry all of your essentials like a cell phone, makeup, keys, sunglasses, etc., and still have room. It’s not very often you can find such a spacious but yet gorgeous clutch.
